23. History And Status Of The Welsh Language Historical, political and cultural background of the Welsh language. http://users.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geraint.jones/about.welsh/

History and Status of the Welsh Language Incomplete draft of 8th January 1995, last changed 24th September 1999. This document is written to accompany Mark Nodine's online Welsh lessons and used to be an appendix of that document, although I think it has now been removed from there (which makes the huge numbers of accesses to it the more confusing). It aims to answer, from the - perhaps necessarily opinionated - standpoint of a native Welsh speaker, some questions about the historical, political and cultural background of the language that he or I think might be asked by a learner from outside that culture. The present document has been drafted as responses to a list of questions, originally based on those that Mark thought might be asked: What is Welsh? Isn't Welsh just a dialect of English? Where is Wales? So what exactly is Wales? A country? A district? ... What is being done to preserve the language over the last 20 years or so? If you think the answers are wrong or misleading, or if you think there are other questions that should be asked, please contribute by sending mail to Geraint.Jones@wolfson.oxford.ac.uk

Welsh Proverbs TRAVEL Travel Home London Guide Touring Online Planning Resources ... Scotland Welsh Language Guide The language of Wales, more properly called Cymraeg in preference to Welsh (A Germanic word denoting "foreigner"), belongs to a branch of Celtic, an Indo-European language. The Welsh themselves are descendants of the Galatians, to whom Paul wrote his famous letter. Their language is a distant cousin to Irish and Scots Gaelic and a close brother to Breton. Welsh is still used by about half a million people within Wales and possibly another few hundred thousand in England and other areas overseas. In most heavily populated areas of Wales, such as the Southeast (containing the large urban centers of Cardiff, Newport and Swansea), the normal language of everyday life is English, but there are other areas, notably in the Western and Northern regions, (Gwynedd and Dyfed particularly) where the Welsh language remains strong and highly visible. The Welsh word for their country is Cymru (Kumree), the land of the Comrades; the people are known as Cymry (Kumree) and the language as Cymraeg (Kumrige). Regional differences in spoken Welsh do not make speakers in one area unintelligible to those in another (as is so often claimed), standard Welsh is understood by Welsh speakers everywhere.
